Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team might be crafting a faster-paced experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
